¶ By repeating this operation, the two players can be used to per-

form continuous relay play.

¶ By loading new discs and choosing desired tracks on the player

in standby, a continuous program of selected tracks can be

played.

¶ By setting a cue point on the standby player, a relay of any

desired cue point of the selected track can be performed.

Note:

¶Relay play may not operate properly if the AUDIO OUT jacks on the two players are not connected to the same DJ mixer.

¶If the power to one player is turned off during its playback, the other player may begin playback.

¶Fader start and relay play cannot be performed si- multaneously, since different control cord connec- tions are required.

Writing and reading data

Cue point/loop point memory

Using a USB memory device, data (cue/loop points) saved from the CDJ-400 can be copied to other players.
